    Our Thanksgiving dinner at The Beach House in Poipu was nothing short of magical! This was our second visit—the first was in 2022 when we had an incredible meal—so our expectations were high, and we were not disappointed. From the moment we arrived, the stunning oceanfront location set the perfect stage for our special holiday evening. Our booth, right by the open-air windows, offered a breathtaking sunset view. As the sun dipped below the horizon, a mesmerizing flock of parrots gathered in the surrounding palm trees, adding a touch of island magic to our holiday celebration. Our server, Makayla, made the evening even more memorable with her warm, attentive, and knowledgeable service. She ensured every detail was perfect, from the delightful Mai Tai cocktails and local beers to the refreshing fresh POG juice. The Thanksgiving dinner menu was phenomenal. We savored the tender filet mignon, rich fish and lobster pasta, vibrant vegan veggies and noodles, perfectly seared ahi, and the standout macadamia-crusted mahi-mahi. Each dish was expertly prepared and full of flavor, surpassing even the high expectations we had from our first visit. The Beach House has become a special place for us, and it was the perfect setting for our Thanksgiving away from home. We can’t wait to return for our next celebration!

    We love Gaylords. Always great food and service. We had Thanksgiving dinner last year at Gaylords and had an awesome Ono meal, so we booked again this year. Gaylords never disappoints. Our waitress, Davis, was outstanding.
